Australian hospital operator Healthscope has found itself in a challenging situation after entering receivership on Monday. The company has already garnered about 10 non-binding indicative offers, with the sales process anticipated to take up to 10 weeks, according to CEO Tino La Spina.
Despite the financial hurdles, Healthscope, the second-largest private hospital group in Australia, has managed to secure an additional A$100 million (US$65.2 million) in funding. This financial cushion ensures that all of its hospitals continue operating smoothly, La Spina assured stakeholders.
Amid these developments, Australia's Health Minister Mark Butler made it clear that no taxpayer-funded bailouts would be considered for Healthscope. The exchange rate stands at US$1 to 1.5340 Australian dollars.
